As a fellow cozy reader, I can assure you that 90% of cozy mysteries are crap, too!
Full-formula cozy mystery YA isn't a super established subgenre (possibly because adult cozy mysteries are pretty YA-friendly already?), but if you're looking for more recs (which you seem to be), try the series starting with A Trifle Dead by Livia Day (not strictly YA but definitely crossover IMO), and maybe the Ally Carter serieses for a bit of fun, and some Ellie Marney if you don't mind a romantic subplot (not super cozy but good). Etiquette & Espionage might be worth a try, but Gail Carriger is a very particular thing and it may or may not be your thing. Y.S. Lee's The Agency books, perhaps?
If you step outside cozy, Small Spaces by Epstein is great. And there are a fair few YA psychological thriller type books about.
